2. Clinical Applications Areas of use
General medicine, general and specialist surgery, care of the elderly, HDU, ITU, coronary care and oncology.
Indications
The bed is appropriate for high dependency patients who pose a movement and handling risk and / or whose clinical condition requires that they are positioned with minimal physical handling. Patients with a moderate amount of independence can, at the carer’s discretion, use the controls to adjust their own position. The mattress platform can be positioned to assist with clinical procedures such as intubation; contact ArjoHuntleigh for further information.
Contraindications
The total safe working load of the bed is 250kg. The bed is intended for use by patients over the age of twelve years.
WARNING The use of head down tilt (Trendelenburg) or foot down tilt (reverse Trendelenburg) may be contra-indicated for certain medical conditions. The tilt facility should only be used under the guidance of a clinically qualified person after assessment of the patient’s condition.

3. Installation Connect the electrical supply cable to a suitable outlet socket. The electrical supply cable is fitted with a plastic hook. When not in use or before moving the bed, clip the hook (A) onto the head end panel, coil up the cable and place it over the hook. A

Cable storage & equipotential terminal
WARNING Make sure that the coiled electrical supply cable is not stretched excessively. Make sure that the electrical supply cable does not become entangled with moving parts of the bed. Disconnect the electrical supply cable from the electricity supply, and store it as shown above, before moving the bed.
9
An equipotential terminal (B) is located at the head end of the bed, above the roller buffer on the patient’s right side. When other electrical equipment is within patient / user reach, the potential difference between this equipment can be equalised by interconnecting the equipotential terminals of each piece of equipment. Caution Models 5000C, D, L and M should be positioned with the roller buffers at least 20cm from the rear wall to prevent the head end panel striking the wall when the bed is in head down tilt (Trendelenburg).
Recommended positioning for 5000C, D, L & M

4. Operation Safety
• Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A range of suitable pressure reducing and pressure relieving mattresses is available from ArjoHuntleigh. • When the bed is operated, make sure that obstacles such as bedside furniture do not restrict movement. • Where risk assessment indicates that a patient is at high risk of entrapment owing to their medical condition or other circumstances, and where there is no medical benefit from their being left in a contoured position, place the mattress platform in the flat position when the patient is left unattended. • Patients should not be left in the Trendelenburg position when unattended. • Before operating the bed, make sure that the patient is positioned correctly to avoid entrapment or imbalance. • Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary. • Lower the bed to minimum height when the patient is left unattended. • Keep these instructions with the bed for reference.
11
Brakes and steering
There are four linked brake levers, two at either end of the bed. Each lever has a red pedal and a green pedal. • Red pedal down - brakes are applied on all four castors. • Lever horizontal - all four castors can rotate and swivel. • Green pedal down – the steering castor is locked so that it cannot swivel; this is the head end castor on the patient’s right unless otherwise specified. When moving the bed, push it in the direction of travel so that the castors are all in line; then press the green pedal down to engage the steering castor. Push the bed from the opposite end to where the steering castor is located.

Folding safety sides
WARNING Safety sides must only be used with a mattress of the correct size and which is approved for use with the bed. The maximum recommended mattress thickness for use with safety sides is 180mm. The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and condition of the patient before allowing the use of safety sides. Safety sides are not intended to restrain patients who make a deliberate attempt to exit the bed. Ensure that the locking mechanism is securely engaged when the safety sides are left in the raised position. Safety side contact points are identified by this symbol. Keep hands and fingers away from these areas.
Folding safety sides – raised Caution Do not use the safety sides to lift or move the bed. 13
When choosing bed and mattress combinations, it is important to assess the use of safety sides based on clinical assessment of each individual patient and in line with local policy. When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with safety sides, the following factors should be considered: • The bed is designed to provide an acceptable safety side height when used with a foam mattress up to 180mm thick. • Specialist powered air / foam replacement mattresses will typically envelop the patient when loaded and can generally be deeper than a foam mattress without compromising safety. All ArjoHuntleigh specialist mattress replacements will maintain sufficient clearance between patients and safety side tops to preserve the function of the safety side. Other makes of specialist mattress replacement must be assessed individually prior to use to verify sufficient clearance is maintained. • When using a powered mattress overlay on top of a foam mattress, it may be necessary (based on risk assessment) to use a lower profile foam mattress to maintain a 180mm combination height.
